Spid the Spider Meets Hamish McSpid is a humorous and engaging Scottish adventure that encourages children to explore heritage, question myths and develop independent thinking.

It’s a long way from Spider Webdon to Glenthistle.

But after reading about the legendary King Robert the Spid in a history book, Spid is determined to visit his cousin, Hamish McSpid, and discover more about his heritage.

No sooner have they arrived than strange rumours begin to swirl. Whispers of a fearsome creature in Loch Monroe. Mysterious sightings. Unexplained happenings. Is the monster real? Or is there another explanation?

As Spid investigates, he learns that history and legends are fascinating — but the truth often requires curiosity, courage and careful thinking.

Includes two original songs: “Hamish McSpid” and “The Water King” that bring the adventure to life and reinforce learning through rhythm and rhyme. Watch the films at YouTube.com/spidthespider to add visual storytelling.
